Following my discussion with Daniel I've tried out building Icecast 
using OpenBuildServer (OBS). I've used 2.4 beta2 for this experiment.

I'm thoroughly impressed, using one deb packaging and one rpm spec I'm 
now able to build for 19 distributions (Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS, RHEL, 
Fedora, openSUSE, SLE).
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=icecast&project=home%3Adm8tbr
Package repositories are here:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/dm8tbr/

Even though I was careful to stay as close as possible to each 
distribution's original Icecast packaging and to accommodate 
peculiarities, I have to add a warning that those packages are 
experimental, not only because it's not a stable release of Icecast, but 
also because _none_ of the packages have been tested, so if it scares 
your cat, bites your dog and blows up - enjoy the fireworks.

I'd be very interested in feedback about both 2.4 beta2, the packaging 
and resulting packages! (replies to ml, freenode #icecast, trac.xiph.org)
Please always mention where you obtained the package and which 
distribution you use!

Cheers

Thomas
